Situations vary – sometimes it happens that manure is simply not available, and sometimes summer residents are in no hurry to use such fertilizer on their plots, having heard enough “horror stories” associated with this fertilizer.
However, there are no hopeless situations, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, who named as many as 4 replacements for manure that are no less effective.
1. Green manure
Green manure is in no way inferior to manure and, in addition, has many additional advantages.
2. Compost
Properly prepared (this is important) compost copes with its functions no worse than manure.
3. Microbiological preparations
Microbiological preparations for soil improvement, in other words, cultures of beneficial soil bacteria, should not be confused with “chemistry”: they have nothing in common.
4. Mineral fertilizers
Cheap urea contains about the same amount of nitrogen as manure.
If you want mineral fertilizers to be as good as organic ones, apply them on time and in compliance with all the rules.
